Been waiting for these...can’t wait to get them on before my next Rausch Creek trip. Couple of questions:

I wish the rear springs were 1.5” lift as well to keep the rake. Will I end up with reverse rake when loaded with gear? Should I pair the fronts with different rears? I may at a minimum put a 15mm shim on my driver side to even out the rear. With C4 steel gas skid, driver and full gas it’s pretty bad.

Anyone know if it’s worth getting adjustable UCAs when putting on this kit? I dream about getting 285/75/17 tires but don’t want to buy new wheels. Can’t seem to figure out which UCAs will allow 34s on the stock pro wheels without wheel spacers. I recall hearing that the added castor will help fit larger tires.

I’m new to this so any help is greatly appreciated.

I don't have a Pro any more but just ordered Eibach fully adjustable rears for my orp. They come in different spring ranges and go from .5 to 2.5 in lift.

I’d get those if I could understand the pros and cons of them for off-roading vs regular lift springs. I don’t tow and don’t have a heavy steel bumper. One day I may have a hitch mount tire carrier. The way they are marketed it sounded like they are for towing or hauling crap.
[MENTION=327840]ForRun[/MENTION]: What did you research yield? Get them on yet?

Just going off one review I read somewhere on this forum said they ride nice. I want them for towing when heading up north, twice a year if that but the rear wont sag when doing so! Im not a fan of air bags, they ride like crap

Just ordered mines!!!!...Can't wait to get them installed.

 

[Jshen]

No shipping to Canada???? . To the ones who ordered, let us know how they are and take some pics!!

 

[gopack]

Excited to see these on a vehicle! I’ll probably get them one day.

Wont a 1.6" front and 1" rear give reverse rake?

I currently have the silver 1" Eibach rears paired with Icon 13"/650lbs fronts and its pretty damn even.

Check out page 4....there is a picture of the test truck and as per Ryan it still has 1/4" of rake.

I had same reverse rake worry per my questions above in this thread. I’m wondering if I should get SAW 1.5” lift rear springs or even toytec 2” superflex coils. Then wondering if it be a bad idea to do dobinsons 0.25” top mount spacer on front to get the lift to 2.1” in the front. I’d get UCAs if I went that route but I’m probably getting UCAs either way. This is stressing me out because I want to pull the trigger and install already.

 

[AMLOR]

Ordered!

I have been watching this since last September waiting to pull the trigger on the front set while keeping the FOX PRO shocks. I already have the adjustable rears.
The truck has a winch bumper, 12K Smittybilt and a dual battery setup. I am planning to install these and a set of SPC UCA's at the same time. I will run it for several hundred miles and re measure to see what top hat spacer I need for a 2-2.25 inch lift/level when finished. Then it is a 15 minute Job to dial in rears, to whatever rake I want/need depending on whether i'm towing, camping, playing at the adventure park or running back and forth to work.

Ive seen that picture... but also have my vehicle that I see every day. (1" Eibach rear, ~1" front via 13" 650lb coils)

What is considered the measurement point for level ride? Fender to ground?

Is eibach the only maker of an adjustable rear coil spring, thats pretty clever design. I have a huge rake with Dobinson rear springs on my rig even with a steel bumper. I guess I didn't order the right spring height/rate. These would making fine tuning it endless.

Which Dobinsons rear springs and what do you have upfront? I may pair the 1.5” CR59-505 in red. I think they are 220lb. Hoping this will be a perfect pair for the Eibach fronts whether I do the top mount spacer or not.

 

[adrummingdude]

I'm so undecided with these, as I'm concerned with the loaded rake and am still skeptical about the necessity of UCAs to get the castor in spec...oh yeah, and the whole thing about the progressive valving of the FOX shocks perhaps not being where it likes to be. I mean really, would a 1" front spring not have made more sense?

I may still just go for it...or I may allow you guys to first be the beta testers.:shrug:

I tend to agree. I would've bought a pair of 1 inch front springs yesterday

If you want a 1" front lift, you can go with the Icon 13" 650lb coils. Very accessible and cheap.

Below is my '20 Pro, Icon 13" coils up front and Eibach 1" coils in the rear. Pretty damn even, but willing to get exact measurements if someone wants.

Worth noting... I had cornfed 2" spacers previously, and the Icons gave me 1" less lift.

I was also planning on waiting for the Eibach front springs, but a set of the Icons came up for sale locally so i jumped on those instead. (and since they were used, I only paid $80) Ride is much closer to stock (softer over bumps etc) so I am quite happy.

You put those icon springs on the stock fox shocks I assume? Interesting. You said it's even with a 1 inch lift at the back along with these springs. I'd just want front springs for 1 inch there. You're probably closer to 1.5

Dang it...was so looking forward to this but just got an email saying that the springs are on back order with no ETA in the near future and I should be receiving a credit within 1-3 days.:cry2::cry2::cry2:
